As of 28 May 2020, GiveWell had made three grants for COVID-19 mitigation.

True: GiveWell's records (grant pages, blog posts or grant lists) show that exactly three grants made by 28 May 2020 were for COVID-19 mitigation. Mostly true: the count is three, but there is a minor discrepancy in timing or in how one grant is classified (for example one grant was committed but not yet disbursed). Mostly false: the count by that date was clearly different, for example two or five. False: GiveWell's records show that no COVID-19 grants, or a very different number, had been made by that date.

1. E1 Three grants in response to the COVID-19 pandemic - The GiveWell Blog GiveWell · 21 April 2020 Own record

   “We are excited to announce that we granted a total of $450,000 to support coronavirus-response projects run by Development Media International (DMI), IDinsight, and Yale professor Mushfiq Mobarak, respectively.”

2. E2 COVID-19 Effects on GiveWell GiveWell (attachment to ClearFund meeting of 2020-05-28) Own record

   “As of May 12th, we have made three grants to COVID-19-specific projects .”

3. E3 Grantmaking in Response to COVID-19 GiveWell · March 2021 Own record

   “We made three grants in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020: $200,000 to Development Media International, $150,000 to IDinsight, and $100,000 to the Yale Research Initiative on Innovation and Scale (Y-RISE).”

The resolution criteria rest on GiveWell's own records, and several consistent records show three COVID-19 grants. The April 2020 blog post announces three grants to DMI, IDinsight and Professor Mobarak (E1). A document for the 28 May 2020 meeting states three COVID-19-specific grants as of 12 May (E2). A March 2021 retrospective lists the same three April 2020 grants and no others before that date (E3).
